GEM OS®1:
Technology with a history of safe and effective use
A fully synthetic, biocompatible material
Composed of beta tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) and recombinant
platelet-derived growth factor (rhPDGF-BB), a recombinant human
platelet-derived growth factor,
GEM OS1 is designed to fill bone defects and provide
a “scaffold” for new bone formation and the promotion of
cellular growth. Both components have been approved by
the FDA and are chemically identical to those found in
the GEM 21S® device
approved in the U.S. and Canada for bone regeneration
in the jaw.
Easy to use
The GEM OS1 kit contains a package of ß-TCP and
a syringe containing a solution of 0.3 mg/ml rhPDGF-BB. After mixing,
the graft material is packed into and around the fusion site using
standard surgical techniques to complete the procedure.
A less invasive procedure
Because there is no need to harvest autologous bone, fusion procedures
using GEM OS1 have potential benefits, such as decreased
pain and anesthesia time.
